Former Pakistan captain discussed Pakistan's Test series loss to New Zealand, analysed the home side's failures with the bat during recent Test matches and also recommended replacement of Sarfaraz Ahmed as Test captain.

Ian Bell is gearing up for T20 stints in the Bangladesh Premier League and Pakistan Super League - but he has had his eyes on the Test game, too, with England securing a 3-0 whitewash in Sri Lanka. Speaking with Saj for Sky Sports, the Warwickshire batsman, explained why Joe Root's side can go from strength to strength, and if he has his eyes on an international recall at the age of 36, and also looked forward to his winter assignments.

Writing for First Sports, Saj explains why the manner of New Zealand batting’s destruction and the success of his own side would have been heartening for the Pakistan head coach who felt that his team had conquered and laid to rest the demons of the first Test.

The young batsman explained why he felt he had a strong case to be selected by one of the PSL sides, and expressed his disappointment at being overlooked during the draft despite impressive recent performances in domestic cricket.

Pakistan’s memorable first Test series victory in the Caribbean in 2017 is also remembered for another important milestone. As a victorious visiting squad walked off the field in May 2017 after defeating the hosts by 101 runs, a golden chapter of Pakistani cricketing history also closed with the retirements of veterans Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan.
